drbd: fix disconnect/reconnect loop, if ping-timeout == ping-int
If there is no replication traffic within the idle timeout (ping-int seconds), DRBD will send a P_PING, and adjust the timeout to ping-timeout. If there is no P_PING_ACK received within this ping-timeout, DRBD finally drops the connection, and tries to re-establish it. To decide which timeout was active, we compared the current timeout with the ping-timeout, and dropped the connection, if that was the case. By default, ping-int is 10 seconds, ping-timeout is 500 ms. Unfortunately, if you configure ping-timeout to be the same as ping-int, expiry of the idle-timeout had been mistaken for a missing ping ack, and caused an immediate reconnection attempt. Fix: Allow both timeouts to be equal, use a local variable to store which timeout is active.
